Historical Museums and Sites

I love history museums, although I rarely get the chance to visit them. However, I haven't yet visited one I did not thoroughly enjoy, but the History Museum of Mobile and the WWII Museum of New Orleans are perhaps my two favorites. Regarding historical sites, it'd be impossible for me to pick one to call my favorite.

The History Museum of Mobile is probably the one I'm most familiar with. I've been there multiple times and I always learn something new or notice something I hadn't before. Many native Mobilians and even Alabamians don't really understand the historical significance of Mobile, and I think a visit the history museum here should really be a priority for tourists and newcomers to the city.

I think my favorite exhibit in the museum is a room that contains numerous doll-houses in glass cases, but each of those houses actually existed in Mobile at one time, known as the Friedman Miniature House Gallery. Each of the glass cases has a switch by which you can turn on the lights within the house, and a placard with information of the houses. They really are beautiful and I just think it's so cool to know those houses and their grandeur were once a part of Mobile. I wish I had pictures to include here, but unfortunately I don't. However, there are millions of images on Google and if you haven't already I highly recommend you look it up and pay a visit. If you love history, you won't be disappointed.
